Using date-based CSS to make old web pages *look* old (2023)
(shkspr.mobi)
How do you know you're looking at an old website? You may have found a page which has lots of interesting information, but how can you tell it's a modern and relevant result?

Ask HN: How to check who the black bar is honoring?
(ycombinator.com)
I noticed the black bar is up today and I don't see any death posts. Is there an easy way to see who this is honoring? It would be nice to have a feature that on hover said who it was or something of the like.

We Asked the Creator of 'Rotating Sandwiches': Why? (2023)
(digg.com)
If you feel like the internet is a lot less fun these days, you're not alone. For many of us, the online experience now consists of algorithm-driven sameness, punctuated by dangerous misinformation and the occasional horrifying image. But amidst all that, there's still Rotating Sandwiches — one of the few remaining sites on the internet that exist purely for fun, silliness or simply no reason at all.

Is there now a generation of users who never worked with files?

MapHub's UI has remained largely consistent since I launched it eight years ago, with a prominent "Save" button visible in the top-right corner of the map. It turns orange when a save is needed.

Ask HN: Crappy website design seems more trustworthy?
(ycombinator.com)
I visited my bank's website and it hit me. For some reason, their crappy website design appears as more trustworthy than other, sleeker designs of modern banks. Why is that?

Canvases versus Documents
(kaiwenwang.com)
Much web design has reflected that of paper documents: finite with clearly defined edges. But by no means is the canvas style recent, as we can see in Space Jam.

Making the Web Boring Again

It's hard to imagine now, but in the 2000s web browsers were quite boring and didn't get updated very often.

I Built "The Monospace Web"
(wickstrom.tech)
Recently, I published The Monospace Web, a minimalist design exploration. It all started with this innocent post, yearning for a simpler web. Perhaps too typewriter-nostalgic, but it was an interesting starting point. After some hacking and sharing early screenshots, @noteed asked for grid alignment, and down the rabbit hole I went.
